This system of personal abuse is not confined to any single party, and the worst of it is, the whole thing is looked upon as a sort of entertainment much the same as a dog fight. voters are looked upon with suspicion by members of the opposite party. Independent voters are grossly misunderstood. It is small wonder that many people do not vote, In the meantime the affairs of the country are in urgent need Denunciation and sneers will not help. What are the parties going to DO about rising costs of adminis- tration in the face of insistent demands for more "relief," exten- sion of highways, and cheaper, Hydro power? will require statesmanship and firmness. One of the greatest menaces we face is the increasing number of voters who enjoy the franchise without responsibility, and with an that of securing something from any party no interest other the that happens to be in power. This is the time to study the platforms of the parties. are the methods proposed to give us the best government? is what should interest us, andit is that for which we should vote. 2 Ordinary Those problems What That Do you think this Idea practical?

(By Prestonia Mann Martin in The Christian Science Monitor.) For a number of years previous to working out the National Livelihood Plan outlined in my little book "Pro- hibiting Poverty", it had seemed to me that the chief evil in our social system was not, as the Socialists were always telling us, financial inequality under which some were rich and others poor, but the financial inse- curity which menaced all classes, both rich and poor. Nobody was safe; no- body could be sure that his means, whether great or small, might not vanish overnight. This fact was brought home to me in a painful manner when-I was a young girl. My father, anxious to provide for the safety of his family, insured his life in a well-known com- pany, and for nine years he set aside every month $1007to pay the premium, Some months it was hard to find the money, but he and my mother saved and sacrificed and always managed to squeeze put the required sum. At the end of the nine years the. company failed and the nine years' savings van- ished. My father turned thereafter to savings banks for safety. In the present depression they, too, and every other known means of obtaining financial security have failed. I became convinced that all forms of money insurance were illusive and that the only real security for old age lies in some arrangement whereby-- as in earlier days--the old who can no longer work shall be taken care of by. the young whe are fresh and strong. How to establish a due claim on the part of the old upon the labors of the young as a national policy, without placing too heavy a burden upon the young, was the problem. A decent, honest day's work was all that could justly be required of a young person. The question was: Could the effects of that day's work be so multiplied by machinery as to suffice for nine or ten other persons beside the worker himself ? I became convinced, and this view was corroborated by experts, that it could be done. Indeed, it is believed that by enlarging and multi- plying our machinery our total out- put could be expanded to almost any desired extent. The general financial insecurity per- meating out society is bound to have an extremely demoralizing effect upon our people. Old standards of business honesty began to give way under the pressure of a frantic desire to acquire money in order to safeguard one from poverty and the humiliating depend- ence upon family, friends, or charity --which all classes dread. This fear generated an unnatural greed for money. The feeling that it was easier to steal money than to work for it stimulated the crime impulse. The tragedy of our criminal record, especially among young men, may take its origin in the thought that W. M. Croskery, $15.00 donation for Junior Agri. activities for 1934. C.F. Edgar, $20, two sheep killed by dogs. H. Davis, $3.00, sheep valuator. Prov. County of Ontario, $70.88, hospital ac- counts for indigents. Miss Rees, $1. for caretaking. R. J.

Clarke family. F. W. Brock, $6.50, haunts them: "Why slave all one's life to save up a little, only to have it (swept away at any time?" This thought led also to undue extrava- gance and reckless expenditures, often for vice. "Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow the banks may fail and wipe out our savings." I Worst of all, this general insecurity of fortune leads to a condition in which the vast majority of the people must toil unceasingly all their lives, (Continued on page 8) Ce gt FARO " Yar rs in Ws a Shr, Rd Zope or A TT peer RE LD AF rt
